Symptoms treatment meaning just feeling better without much structural correction can usually be attained within 6-12 treatments usually performed at 2-3x/week.

That requires restoring proper joint alignment and motion, eliminating nervous system interference, improving proprioception and balancing muscular tensions. These changes can usually be made in a 3-6 month period depending on severity of faults. I hope you find this info helpful. Take care and be well. Dr. Eric Miller - Orland Park, IL
